calendar of the house bill to any senate bill containing the same subject that has
been referred to and reported from a committee of the house and to lay the senate
bill before the house, to be considered in lieu of the house bill.
Sec. 11. PERIODS FOR CONSIDERATION OF CONGRATULATORY
AND MEMORIAL CALENDARS. As the volume of legislation shall warrant,
the chair of the Committee on Rules and Resolutions shall move to designate
periods for the consideration of congratulatory and memorial calendars. Each
such motion shall require a two-thirds vote for its adoption. In each instance, the
Committee on Rules and Resolutions shall prepare and distribute to each member
a printed calendar at least 24 hours in advance of the hour set for consideration.
No memorial or congratulatory resolution will be heard by the full house without
having first been approved, at least 24 hours in advance, by a majority of the
membership of the Committee on Rules and Resolutions, in accordance with
Rule 4, Section 16. It shall not be necessary for the Committee on Rules and
Resolutions to report a memorial or congratulatory resolution from committee in
order to place the resolution on a congratulatory and memorial calendar. If the
Committee on Rules and Resolutions determines that a resolution is not eligible
for placement on the congratulatory and memorial calendar the measure shall be
sent to the Committee on Calendars for further action. A congratulatory and
memorial calendar will contain the resolution number, the author's name, and a
brief description of the intent of the resolution. On the congratulatory and
memorial calendar, congratulatory resolutions may be listed separately from
memorial resolutions. Once a printed calendar is distributed, no additional
resolutions will be added to it, and the requirements of this section shall not be
subject to suspension.
Sec. 12. PROCEDURE FOR CONSIDERATION OF
CONGRATULATORY AND MEMORIAL CALENDARS. During the
consideration of a congratulatory and memorial calendar, resolutions shall not be
read in full unless they pertain to members or former members of the legislature,
or unless the intended recipient of the resolution is present on the house floor or
in the gallery. All other such resolutions shall be read only by number, type of
resolution, and name of the person or persons designated in the resolutions.
Members shall notify the chair, in advance of consideration of the calendar, of
any resolutions that will be required to be read in full. In addition, the following
procedures shall be observed:
(1) The chair shall recognize the reading clerk to read the resolutions
within each category on the calendar only by number, type of resolution, author
or sponsor, and name of the person or persons designated in the resolutions,
except for those resolutions that have been withdrawn or that are required to be
read in full. The resolutions read by the clerk shall then be adopted in one motion
for each category.
(2) Subsequent to the adoption of the resolutions read by the clerk, the
chair shall proceed to lay before the house the resolutions on the calendar that are
required to be read in full. Each such resolution shall be read and adopted
individually.Thursday, January 13, 2005 HOUSE JOURNAL
